Search Engine Book: TRUST BUT VERIFY- How to Keep
Your Search Engine Optimization Firm From
Taking You to the Cleaners!
Search engine book: As a search engine optimzation expert, I've heard too many horror stories from small business owners who paid thousands of dollars for "search engine optimization" from some out-of-state company that contacted them and promised or guaranteed first listing in Google, MSN and Yahoo.
If the victim was lucky, the so-called SEO firms either did nothing or used old tricks that are no longer effective. If they were unlucky, the SEO firm used "black hat" methods that got their site banned from the Internet.
Search engine book was written because small business owners need someone to tell them the truth about what search engine optimization really is, how it works, what to expect, and what to watch out for. That's why I wrote this book.
It is an insurance policy for business owners so they don't get "taken to the cleaners" by shady SEO firms.
There are plenty of honest SEO firms in the US and Canada. But there are enough dis-honest search engine optimization firms to give the rest of us a black eye.
Read this book. Get the facts. Arm yourself with this search engine book so you can sit down with your SEO firm and get the straight answers you need to make an informed decision.
